on behalf of a larger collaboration report:

"The 0.6m BOOTES-IR telescope, located at IAA-CSIC Observatorio de
Sierra Nevada in Granada (Spain), observed the SWIFT error box for 
GRB 060926 (Holland et al. GCN 5612) starting at 18:48 UT (2.0 h 
after the burst) in R-band. We do not detect the optical counterpart
during the first hour of observations down to a limiting 3-sigma
magnitude of R ~ 20.3. Further analysis is ongoing.

This message is quotable."
